BMW: Iron and Steel
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what information his Department holds on how much British steel will be used by BMW to manufacture the e-Mini at Cowley.
- Answer
-
We have regular discussions with BMW and more generally the Government is working with UK based car manufacturers to increase the level of local content in UK built vehicles.
Automotive Council research published in June 2017, showed that in value terms, the content sourced by UK car manufacturers increased from 36% in 2011, to 44% in 2017.
